US Signal is a Midwest data center operator that provides colocation, cloud hosting, backup and connectivity from its own facilities and network. It sells the whole stack from one provider: put hardware in its data centers, run workloads in its cloud, protect the data with its backup and disaster recovery, and connect it all over its own network. Its colocation footprint is concentrated in the Midwest, with facilities placed for geographic diversity, 200 or more miles apart, each on its own power grid, which matters for a company building a disaster recovery plan. It leans on a consultative, customized approach rather than off-the-shelf products, with security and compliance help alongside. For a buyer, US Signal is a regional single provider for data center, cloud and the network between them.
Best for
- Companies in or near the Midwest that want colocation, cloud and connectivity from one regional provider.
- Organizations building a disaster recovery plan that need a second site far enough away, on an independent power grid, to survive a regional event.
- Businesses that want managed backup and disaster recovery, including for Veeam environments, rather than running it themselves.
- Teams that want data center and security services with compliance assistance from the same provider.
A company that needs a nationwide or global footprint in one contract should confirm reach first, since US Signal's strength is its own Midwest facilities and network.
What they offer
Colocation. Cages and racks in US Signal's Midwest data centers, with stringent security controls and geographically diverse facilities that sit 200 or more miles apart, each on its own power grid, plus remote hands. The sites can serve as a primary home or a secondary disaster recovery location.
Cloud and IaaS. Cloud hosting through resource pools and high-performance computing options in US Signal's own cloud, suited to hybrid strategies alongside colocated hardware.
Backup and Disaster Recovery. Backup as a service and disaster recovery as a service, including cloud availability for Veeam environments, so workloads can be recovered off site.
Business Connectivity. Dedicated internet and Cloud Connect to the hyperscale clouds over US Signal's network, with multiple access options.
Managed Security. Tiered advanced security, web and application security, and monitoring and patching, with compliance assistance for regulated workloads.

Proof
Customer stories US Signal has published, told here without the customer's name.
A city government's mobility and parking department. Running the parking-payment, mobile-parking and traffic-safety systems for a mid-sized city, it migrated to US Signal's enterprise cloud on dedicated resource pools, with disaster-recovery and backup-as-a-service and remote monitoring, and had US Signal's professional services run the migration so its own team was freed for other work.
One of Michigan's largest physician organizations, representing more than 2,400 doctors. Needing simple, cost-effective offsite backup, it chose US Signal's S3-compatible object storage for seamless backup to the cloud, long-term retention on secure servers and recovery from anywhere, while meeting its compliance requirements.
A nonprofit that runs benefits programs for religious organizations across the US and Canada. With its on-premises equipment leases and its backup-provider contract coming due together, it moved to US Signal for a redundant MPLS WAN, internet and cloud-based data center, backup and disaster recovery, meeting HIPAA and its other compliance needs.
